5791.0. "PErformance problems serving printers" by VAXSPO::ANDRE () Tue Mar 11 1997 07:11

    
    	Hi ,
    
    	My customer has a Windows-NT domain with several ALPHAs 1000 .
    
    	One of his BDCs is serving network printers to all clients .
    
    	They work with complex images printing , and sometimes they print
    
    images with more than 250 Mb .
    
    	When they have a lot of print jobs they're having problems with
    
    performance . 
    
    	The machine has 256 MB of memory , and RAID 5 with four RZ29B-VW.
    
    	How can I minimize this problem ? Maybe if I turn this machine in
    
    a sample server ( not a BDC ) ? Maybe upgrade to NT 4.0 ?
    
    	I forgot to mention that they're running Windows NT 3.5-1 with SP5.
    
    	
    		thanks for any help
